Senate Committees to Vote on Sessions, DeVos, Zinke, Perry & Price Nominations
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Senate committees are also expected to vote today on Jeff Sessions for
attorney general, Betsy De Vos for education secretary, Rick Perry to
head the Energy Department, Ryan Zinke to head the Interior Department
and Tom Price to head the Department of Health and Human Services. Price
has been a major proponent of the Republicans' plan to repeal the
Affordable Care Act. Yesterday, hundreds of medical students staged a
die-in outside Fox News in New York City to protest the repeal of
Obamacare.
